Sony Bravia
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony replaces a previous Sony after about 6 years. The picture resolution is definitely better. The audio is also an improvement although you will still need a sound bar or better yet a surround system.

Overall, Good TV with Do-able Kinks
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice view. No bad pixels. Low storage space but overall a very good tv. Low storage space and a thick bezel wouldn’t stop me from buying this tv. The 4K at 120 is worth it, especially given the price.
